SERINA KANE:PART TWO:SERINA'S STRANGE EYES
Monday morning, Brenda Walsh woke up. She was excited because this was the day she and Brandon were going to introduce their new sister, Serina Kane to all their frinds at West Beverly High.
She looked over at Serina's bed to see if she was awake. Brenda was amazed to see that Serina was already up and ready for school. She was sitting on her bed running a brush through her long red hair. Her strange purple eyes were downcast and she was so quiet that is was like she wasn't there, like an illusion. She lifted her eyes, looked at Brenda for a moment, then lowered her eyes again still making no sound.
"Good morning Serina," happily called out Brenda, "Sleep well?"
"Yes," softly said Serina.
"Looking forward to meeting everyone at school?"
"I don't know." Replied Serina quietly.
"A little nervous, hu." Said Brenda.
"No" whispered Serina.
Brenda shook her head. She just didn't understand her new sister. Serina was a little weird, but she would probably get better once she got used to her new life.
"I'll help her as much as I can to feel welcome," thought Brenda to herself. "My friends will make her smile, especially Steve."
"Come on, Serina" Brenda said. "We'll grab some breakfast, then head for school, okay?"
"Yes"Serina said softly.
Brandon and his sisters walked through yhe front doors of West Beverly High. They headed to the main office.
"Do I have to register?" asked Serina quietly.
"No" Brandon told her. "Mom and dad already took care of that. We're just going to pick up your class schedule. Then we"ll show you where everything is and introduce you to our friends."
"Okay" Serina softly said.
They walked into the main office and waited before the office attendant's desk. She was busy with some papers. A minute later she finished and looked up at them.
"Can I help you?" She asked.
"We're here to pick up my sister Serina Kane's class schedule. This is her first day here at West Beverly High" Brenda answered.
"Oh, yes, here you go Serina. Welcome to West Beverly High."
"Thank you"Serina said softly.
"Let's go then" called Brandon heading out the door. "Our friends are waiting."
Brenda and Serina followed Brandon down the hall to where their friends were waiting. There was happy greetings and every one was laughing and talking at the same time. Serina however was standing quietly apart, eyes downcast with no expression on her face except for an eerie calmness.
Brenda took Serina by the arm and pulled her towards the others. Serina let Brenda pull her into the midst of the bunch.
"Hey guys" Brenda said "This is our new sister Serina. Serina these are Brandon's and my friends. This is Kelly, Donna, David, Steve, Andrea and Dylan. We're sorry we left you out."
"Yes" Said Kelly. "I hope we didn't hurt your feelings."
"It doesn't matter" whispered Serina softly, still not looking up.
"Of course it matters" said Donna. " We want to be your friends, and friends try not to hurt each others feelings."
"I don't feel hurt" Serina softly responded. "I have no feelings to hurt."
Kelly looked at Brenda puzzled and asked, "What does she mean, Brenda? No feelings to hurt? Everyone has feelings."
"I don't know" replied Brenda. "I don't understand it myself."
Then Serina lifted her eyes. There were looks of surprise as they noticed her stange purple eyes looking out at them.
"Brandon, her eyes." Steve said. "They're unlike any I've ever seen."
"It's impossible for a human to have eyes that color." Stated Andrea.
"Maybe she's wearing contacts."Said Dylan.
"I don't think so, dude." David told him.
"She's not wearing contacts" Brenda answered." They're natural. She says they've always been purple, but she has no idea why."
"Wow, it must have been hard growing up with eyes like that. I bet you got teased a lot." David said.
"I don't remember." Serina said softly.
"What do you remember?"Asked Donna.
"Until a year ago, nothing. My past is gone, but it doesn't matter, nothing does."
"Don't say that, Serina" Brenda said, pulling Serina to her and giving here a hug. "You're a part of my family and friends. That does matter."
"I am not like any of you. I am different. I will always be different, always less than human because I cannot feel."
"Brandon, I'm going to take her home, I think it would be for the best, at least for the day." Brenda said. "I'll be back later."
"Okay Brenda" replied Brandon. "Let me know how it goes."
"You don't have to do this." Serina softly said. "I am fine."
" No your not, and I'm worried about you, I'm taking you home." Brenda said gently taking Serina's arm and leading her home.
